Im looking for a new laptop for work ATM (programming), and I dont really need a dedicated GPU since I wont really be using it for gaming at all. I also want either a 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD or 256+GB SSD if possible, price range around 800-1200 CAD and it need to be lightweight as I will carry it around all the time. I already have a Surface Pro 4 but I dont really like the typing experience on that one, hence Im looking for a new laptop now. After looking around for a while this seem like the best one I can find:

So... is there any laptop better than this one that still satisfied those condition?

Vivobooks generally are just OKish. You can add storage after purchase (if it doesn't void the warranty)

 

If you have limited budget, Acer Swift 3 or Aspire 5 is the best choice. But they are not that light weight.

Desktop specs:
